Additionally `chell` provides exit reports for failed commands and suggestions on alternate commands or switches in various circumstances.\n\n## Install\n\nAt present you will require a checkout of the source code, from the root of which you may run either of the following two commands to build and run `chell` either locally or in docker respectively:\n\n```bash\nmake run\n```\n\n```bash\nmake docker\n```\n\n### Runtime Requirements\n\n[Tmux][1] is required to run `chell` in its ideal mode of operation where to provide the terminal multiplexing functionality behind `chell` and its portals.\n\n## Portals?\n\nYes portals! And by that I mean that long running commands are popped into their own terminal split and a new `chell` gets spawned for continued flow of execution.\n\n## Exit Reports?\n\nMost shells by default silently record the exit code of command that are executed however this is not typically displayed unless the user sets up a custom prompt. When using `chell` this information is surfaced at the end of command failure via an exit report along with other information such as how long the execution took.\n\n## POSIX?\n\nThat is the plan, although the approach will be incremental.\n\n### Roadmap\n\nCurrent Status: Proof of Concept\n\n- [x] Command execution\n- [x] Multiple commands via `;` delimiter\n- [x] Environment variable interpolation\n- [ ] Pipes\n- [ ] Functions\n- [ ] Builtins\n- [ ] Expressions\n- [ ] Conditionals\n- [ ] Loops\n- [ ] Comments\n- [ ] Functions\n- [ ] Aliases\n- [ ] Shell options (eg. `set -x`)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnekroze%2Fchell","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnekroze%2Fchell","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnekroze%2Fchell/lists"}
